Bua Loy (translated to floating lotus in Thai) mini rice flour dumplings in warm coconut milk with assorted toppings.
In the spirit of coconut milk based dessert, I'm introducing you to yet another nation's favourite. Traditional Thai desserts contain a lot of coconut milk and rice flour because they were the most common ingredients, and they still are. (I've tried cooking Bua Loy once in my life. I spent over 5 hours making those dumplings and preparing other components from scratch. It was totally worth it because it turned out so well).
Before indulging in your cup of warm Bua Loy, I strongly recommend you check with the cook whether or not they cook eggs in a separate pot; otherwise you'd be able to smell the eggs in the syrup they cook those rice flour dumplings with, if you don't mind that then you should be fine. But obviously it would be better to purchase this dessert where they care about the consumers enough to give them a vegan option.
The toppings are all vegan except for the eggs- my personal favourites are boiled taro cubes and corn. If you ever see vendors selling something like this on the street, give it a go, you'd be glad you did!
